There are two ways for you to access MyPlan:

1. To view an individual student's plan and recommend courses, you can access MyPlan through the adviser version of EARS (for undergraduate students) or MyGrad (for graduate students). In EARS, select the "View [student name]'s MyPlan" link in the Academic Planning section of the Overview tab. In MyGrad, select the "View [student name]'s MyPlan" link on the student detail page.
2. To create your own plan and gain hands-on familiarity with the application, you are now able to log directly into MyPlan with their UW NetID.

For best results and to avoid browser identity conflicts, you should use two different Internet browsers to manage access to MyPlan - log in via EARS in one browser (i.e. Firefox), and log in via MyPlan in another (i.e. Chrome). If there is only one type of Internet browser available, utilize the browser's private or incognito window function to manage access.

You will have access to all the features of MyPlan except for adviser-initiated functions (including course recommendations), as well as the registration hand-off process or the DARS Degree Audits (as these actions require that a user has been or is currently enrolled at the UW).

Students can't initiate communication to you using MyPlan. If students want to alert you to something in MyPlan, they'll have to let you know another way (e.g., email, in person, etc.).

Begin by opening a student's plan from EARS and click on the "Recommend" link in any quarter on their academic plan page. You can recommend a specific course such as ENGL 349, a general course range such as CHEM 1xx, or a placeholder such as VLPA, Study Abroad, or Other. You can also add notes as to why you are recommending the course. Students will receive notification of your recommendation both in MyPlan and via email, as well as a prompt to add the recommended course to their plan. If a student has questions about your recommendation, they will have to contact you outside of MyPlan (e.g. email, in person, etc.). As an adviser, you can remove your recommendation for an item at any time. Advisers are unable to edit recommendations made by anyone other than themselves.

Once students have resolved any issues like time conflicts or not selecting a required section, they can import their plan and register for it using Register.UW.

 

There are five possibilities:

1. The student is a graduate student. Graduate student Plans are only accessible through MyGrad.
2. You are using the administrative version of EARS. Undergraduate student plans are only accessible through the adviser version of EARS.
3. The student has elected not to share their plan with advisers.
4. The student is currently enrolled at the UW, but is logged into MyPlan via social access (Google or Facebook).
5. The person is not a currently enrolled student at the UW.

Using Adviser view mode, in program search, on the degree/credential listing, advisers now have a link to "GPA Data" which will take them to a chart displaying the average GPA for the students that enrolled in the credential via the Pivot Advising Tool.
